Details

Start by placing five chairs in a row on stage and get five volunteers from the crowd. Each chair is represented by an iceberg on the screen. A five-second countdown will be revealed on-screen and the selected students will need to choose a seat within that five-second timeframe from among the five chairs. When the timer hits zero, all the icebergs will be revealed for what they truly are beneath the surface. Whoever ended up in the seat represented by "The Ice Burglar" is OUT and must be replaced with a different player from the crowd. As the rounds progress, there will be more than one "Ice Burglar" character thrown into the game to ensure that students are regularly replaced. The game is designed to have a winner at the end of five rounds but can be lengthened or shortened as you see fit.

Gameplay Options:

• (Version 1) Have five participants compete against each other

• (Version 2) Have five teams compete by sending one tribute each round.

• (Version 3) Play a crowd game where it's "every man for himself."
